Waterlillies Chainmail Necklace

I am sooo in love with this necklace!!! The focal point of this gorgeous necklace is an artisan crafted cube boro bead, streaked in such a way with blues and greens that it remind me of Claude Monet's "Waterlillies" painting. I did not want to detract from the utter beauty of this boro bead, so I paired it with a delicate 20g handwoven sterling silver Jen's Pind chainmail necklace. Each of the 450 jumprings from which the necklace is comprised was handcoiled, cut, tumbled, and then woven into the maille pattern.The Waterlillies Chainmail Necklace is of course for sale on my website.
